Description:
To foster an understanding of the complex interplay between
fire safety and sustainability, SFPE recently launched the Sustainability and
Fire Committee, charged with drafting an SFPE position relative to this
important topic. In support of an increased understanding of this topic in the
FSE community, this initiative is coupled with a webinar series. This webinar
is the first in a series of three.
This first webinar in the series will provide an overview
of the relationship between sustainability and fire design, with synergies and
relationships when designing and managing buildings and communities.
Participants will be provided with an understanding of core sustainability
principles and how their application can enhance fire resilience and foster
long-term environmental sustainability.
By the end of the webinar, participants should have a clear understanding of
the intersection between sustainability and fire resilience and be equipped
with practical knowledge and strategies to implement in their professional
practice.
This webinar features experts dealing with questions of
sustainability and fire safety from different points of view. They will lead
with short presentations concerning their perspective, followed by a panel
discussion.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the relationship between
sustainability and fire resilience.
